Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker of “Gasland” who was recently arrested for attempting to film a congressional hearing, says the charges against him were just dismissed.

Fox, of Pennsylvania, was charged with unlawful entry on Feb. 1. He tried to film a hearing about the Environmental Protection Agency’s finding that the controversial natural gas extraction technique of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” probably caused the contamination of a well.
